  When I was DF'd... briefly

  by Cygnus in

  when generously given the opportunity to go before three men who, for the community of persons i grew up with and shared with, even owed my life to, would judge me as a wicked hater of righteousness, i got a word in, and maybe some day that word will be remembered, or could be of use to someone.. many of you know my story.

  i'm not going into the whole thing here.

  i will say, i quit the jws in 6/97 and the elders finally df'd me in 4/00.

  I totally agree with you. They control lives. They just told my family to no longer speak with me because I'm DF'd. The sad thing is that my family is agreeing to this crap. Why can't they see they are brainwashed??

  I just saw this message you wrote about emotional blackmail, I like the way you put that. I'm just looking for answers right now, I could use your advice since you used to be an elder. I have been disfellowshipped for about 7 years and my family always spoke to me. Recently my parents when to a convention and it was here the elders enfored not speaking with even disfellowshipped FAMILY. So now my parents stopped speaking to me and they are treating me like absolute dirt. I wrote my mom a letter about how I think this is wrong and I don't think it's godly the way the witnesses set their rules. What do I do?? I don't know what else to do or say to them. I am just emotionally distressed, I need advice. [email protected]

  It's just that I'm no longer doing anything wrong in the witnesses eyes...and if they know that, why do they still push non-communication?? It's because I have a stupid "title" of being DF'd, that's why.

  If they think this is helping me, they are wrong. The congregation and my family have all pushed me away...far away.
